  • After after sounds like a new wave '80s band that never got very popular but has a small dedicated fan base.

  • Even if all morality is subjective or inter-subjective I have some very strong opinions about tabs vs spaces

  • Nothing new, Stephen Miller uses fake outrage to dodge questions where the obvious answers are either because he's scared of everything or he's a white supremacist.

  • The obvious troll is obvious, easiest block

  • Everyone who isn't with us is against us, but yeah not a cult

  • They are kept isolated and ignorant by class warfare under an undermined education system, geographically and social media algorithm bubbled, have severely limited economic prospects, exposed to childhood religious indoctrination, and have normalized extreme right wing propaganda.

    They believe their small town and rural economic hardships aren't self inflicted due to lack of unions & solidarity under worker strikes & holding local politicians accountable, and take out their anger on other working class and poor people because they feel justified by their suffering to inflict suffering on their perceived perpetrators.

    In pop culture references it's Megatron feeling justified to destroy all autobots because he was deceived by a wealthy autobot leader to slave in the energon mines.

  • Their aggressive stance against fact checking betrays their default position of bad faith & lack of empathy because they have been indoctrinated to the point of absolute unwavering certainly, similar to a cult. They abandon objective reality at all of our peril.

  • Link to the article: https://www.abc57.com/news/michigan-police-claim-marijuana-legalization-has-made-work-difficult

    That half page of text is literally the whole article, quoting a single police referencing traffic stops like they imply legalized weed is causing more dangerous driving and traffic stops where they can't seize property anymore without linking the possession of medicine to an effect on their driving. There's no study that shows a link between legalizing cannabis and increased vehicle accidents or fatalities. The article reads like it was written as cop public relations with an alcohol trade group lobbyist looking over their shoulder.

    They ignore the position that drug abuse is a medical issue not a legal issue, and all drugs should be legalized for both the safety of the users and the community because it reduces violent crime and dangerous, unregulated black markets.

  • Set the bush on fire, toss a bucket of water on it, drink the hot bush broth drippings

  • Thanks that's very insightful and I'll amend my position to 15 years 5 may be just a little zealous. 100 year US copyrights have been choking innovation due to things like Disney led trade group lobbyists, 15 years would be a huge boost to many creators being able to leverage more IPs and advancements being held in limbo unused or poorly used by corpo entities.

  • You don't have to stop selling when it becomes public domain, people sell books, movies, music, etc that are all in the public domain and people choose it over free versions all the time because of convenience, patroning arts, etc.

  • You don't have to stop selling when a book becomes public domain, publishers and authors sell public domain/commons books frequently, it's just you won't have a monopoly on the contents after the copyright expires.

  • Copyrights should have never been extended longer than 5 years in the first place, either remove draconian copyright laws or outlaw LLM style models using copyrighted material, corpos can't have both.

  • Yeah, and there was a similar plot line I think in the comics in infinity war 2 where something similar happened to Gamora but she was actually >!trapped inside the soul stone and they went in to break her out !<

  • The sky fortress is not for the faint of heart or poor of balance

  • In english there's a similar sounding word that means a joke or something done in jest, Jape with a long a

  • Darkness took me and I strayed away through thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and every meme was as long as a life age of the earth...
